Managing Damp & Mould in Residential Properties
Landlords in England need to comply with a wide range of legal requirements to ensure a property is fit for human habitation which includes ensuring a property is free from damp and mould.
Damp and mould can be a significant risk to health and property. It is important that private residential landlords take appropriate steps to manage problems with damp and mould in a residential property. These Managing Damp & Mould in Residential Properties documents provide a range of documents to assist with this.
There is useful content which provides an overview of a residential landlord's responsibilities in respect of investigating and rectifying damp and mould problems and template letters to help manage the process when tenants complain about damp and mould. There is also a checklist of indicators which can be used to help identify whether a property is likely to have damp issues before a property is let and a condensation checklist which can be provided to tenants with steps they can take to help reduce condensations levels in a property.
These documents relate to government guidance produced for properties in England but can also be used for best practice purposes in Wales.
